I agree with you. I believe that the human race has probably lost brain capacity over the centuries, due to the curse of sin. There are still a lot of very intellignet people in this world, but I believe the average intellect has probably declined significantly.

I partially agree but I think the lack of intelligence is due to nanny states protecting stupid people thus allowing them to reach adulthood in order to breed. Since they are protected they seem to outbreed the intelligent people so it's a self perpetuating cycle.

And your proof of this is? Where are the ancient writings that describe highly advanced science (like quantum mechanics?) Where are the writings that no human now alive can understand as the ideas therein are too complicated for our brains to handle? Where are the highly advanced structures that no human with Stone or Bronze Age technology could build? (PROTIP: The pyramids could be built with Stone Age tech, so they don't count.) Hell, where are the fossils of Homo sapiens with larger brains than us? Neanderthals were a different species entirely, so if you count them (ignoring the fact that larger brain does not necessarily mean more intelligent) then, by definition, you believe in (gasp!) EVOLUTION.

Yeah, that's exactly what is happening. I mean, it's a very commonly known and easily observable fact that poverty tend to decrease birth rates. This is also why the European nanny-states are populated by morons, and why they're so jealous of America's present situation.

The Internet, as well as all other things that we un-"intellignet" people think arose in the 20th and 21st centuries, were actually invented by cavemen inspired by the one true gawd. But stone-age atheists and the pre-dawn media managed to prevent that bit of news from reaching the public.
